Do most Liberals even have a clue that Iraq was a war of necessity long before Bush arrived on the scene?

There has been a complete misunderstanding of history in this country. When Iraq attempted to invade Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War under President Bush Sr. they were defeated by the US and it's allies and Sadaam Hussein was forced to sign a peace treaty stating that he would allow unlimited United Nations inspections of the country at the will of the UN. Then Bush Sr. was defeated and Bill Clinton won the presidency. The win by Clinton in no way negated our policy with Iraq. Shortly after Clinton's election Sadaam started stalling on his agreement and eventually kicked all of the Inspectors out of the country. At that point in time it was Bill Clinton's responsibility and those of the UN whom he had an excellent rapport to realize the peace treaty had been broken and to re-initiate the war since Hussein was not complying with his agreement. But nothing was done. Clinton made no effort to even bring the topic up and Hussein was able renege on his agreement. The fact that we had to wait until Bush 2 to invade Iraq again is actually just another pathetic reflection of the uselessness of the Clinton administration.
